More Roses on the River

Phew! Where did the time go? I had planned on posting this just a day or two after the original Roses on the River, but that didn't happen. I'm so in awe by those of you who post daily, and work. I don't know how you do it.

A slightly different focus from the photo in my last post. In this shot you can see the old mills a little better. For the most part they've been turned into condos, but there is still a couple business' located inside one of them.

Since it was early in the morning, plenty of birds were hanging about. Herons are always a favorite of mine.

Now these guys, I don't know where they came from. I do believe they're domestic Geese so where they go in the winter I have no idea but they weren't to afraid of people.

For the most part they just stood there and looked at me while I kept shooting.

Within a minute or two it was back to standing on one leg, tucking their heads under their wings, and taking a nap. Life on the river in the morning seems pretty relaxing.

What are your plans for Memorial Day?My younger daughter and I will be heading out to New Castle to hang out with friends. It's supposed to be a great day here in New Hampshire and we're going to enjoy it!

Happy Memorial Day. These are gorgeous photos. Such a beautiful spot and I love the contrast between the bright colours & the dark. Love the geese. I wonder if they'd have let you get close enough to touch them? I'm also a huge fan of Herons.
